Honest review: Daffodil is rewarding but blindness with no flowers produced from weak or immature bulbs is real

Daffodil is a genuinely satisfying plant to grow, but I want to be upfront about one thing: blindness with no flowers produced from weak or immature bulbs. I've dealt with it twice now and it takes consistent attention to manage.

Beyond that, increasing clump size year on year when well established makes it one of my favourites in the collection. I keep it in a naturalised lawn planting for a wild spring effect which suits it well. Learning about planting at three times the depth of the bulb has been essential. planting new bulbs in autumn for next year's display is worth waiting for — the plant really justifies itself then. Four stars because of that persistent issue.
